no shame at all.

Remember! In Islamic law, there is a severe punishment for the one who deliberately eats or drinks publicly during the day in Ramadan.

Will We Not Die?

Dear Islamic brothers! O Muslims! Come to your senses! How long will we continue indulging in the pleasures of the world? Will we not die one day? Will we roam the earth forever in this manner? Remember! One day, death will surely come to us and lift us from the comfort of our soft, luxurious beds before laying us in the earth. It will remove us from rooms adorned with every luxury and put us into the dark grave. Then, regret will be of no avail. There is still time, so repent sincerely from sins and adopt steadfastness in fasting and prayer.

A Year’s Good Deeds Destroyed

It is narrated from ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُما that the beloved Prophet           صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

Indeed, Paradise is adorned for Ramadan from one year to the next. When it arrives, Paradise says: “O Allah! During this month, grant me the servants from among Your servants who will dwell within me.” The Ḥūr ꜤĪyn (maidens of Paradise) say: ‘O Allah! During this month, grant us husbands from among Your servants.’”

During this month, whoever protects himself, abstaining from intoxicants, refraining from slandering a believer, and avoiding sins; Allah will wed him to one hundred Ḥūr for each night, and will build a palace of gold, silver, ruby, and emerald for him in Paradise. If the entire world were gathered and placed inside that palace, it would occupy only as much space as a sheep’s pen occupies in the world.

Whoever consumes an intoxicant during this month, slanders a believer, or commits any sin; Allah will erase the good deeds of his entire year. Beware of negligence regarding Ramadan, for it is the month of Allah.
